Spencer Pratt 'eyes Ryan Seacrest internship'

According to US Weekly, the former Hills star contacted Seacrest's talent booker Amy Sugarman earlier this week asking for five weeks of work experience with the American Idol host.

"I'm trying to change my image and make myself more likable," he wrote.

The 27-year-old then called into Seacrest's KIIS-FM radio show on Thursday to elaborate on the request, explaining: "How do you go from being hated to even a little bit likable? It's about who you're around.

"I've learned you need to be around likable people to even start to be likable. Who's the most likable person in America, if not the world? That would be Ryan Seacrest."
